Answer 1

The correct option is B Byte

8 bits put together make up a byte.

The byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures. The popularity of major commercial computing architectures has aided in the ubiquitous acceptance of the eight-bit size.

The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits, representing a binary number.
